..All of these hypotheses suffer from inconsistencies that need to be solved before any firm conclusions can be drawn concerning the reasons for the increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma...

Association between body mass and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia

..The causes of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia are poorly understood. We conducted an epidemiologic investigation of the possible association between gastroesophageal reflux and these tumors...

..Also, we did not find any evidence of an association between gall stone disease per se and the risk of breast cancer. We conclude that cholecystectomy and breast cancer are not likely to be associated...

..Our findings indicate that dietary factors associated with LES relaxation and transient GER (but perhaps not severe chronic reflux) are not associated with any important risk of esophageal malignancy...

Fruit and vegetable consumption in the prevention of oesophageal and cardia cancers

..We aimed to assess whether needle catheter jejunostomy (NCJ) influences the weight development or discharge from hospital after oesophageal cancer surgery in an unselected and prospectively collected series of patients...

Surgical complications and long-term survival after esophagectomy for cancer in a nationwide Swedish cohort study

..Acute surgical complications after esophageal resection for cancer may decrease the long-term survival. Previous results on this topic are conflicting and no population-based studies are available...

..There is widespread belief that obesity is associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, but the scientific evidence is weak and contradictory. Our aim is to evaluate the relation between body mass and reflux oesophagitis...

Drinking hot beverages is not associated with risk of oesophageal cancers in a Western population

..82; 95% CI=0.25-2.72), as neither were women with 0-1 children compared to women with at least three children (OR=0.93; 95% CI=0.35-2.49). In conclusion, we found no inverse association between childbearing and oesophageal adenocarcinoma...

Surgeon volume and postoperative mortality after oesophagectomy for cancer

..Gastrectomy has been indicated as a risk factor for laryngeal cancer, and possibly also for pharyngeal cancer, but few studies are available. The postulated mechanism is increased bile reflux following gastrectomy...

..Previous studies present conflicting results regarding relationship between gastric emptying and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Reflux of duodenal content to oesophagus is generally considered to be associated with more severe disease...
